Config File Guide - mungee - 11.07.2009

I'm sure that I recently saw a detailed guide to all the config file settings.

I've done searches but cannot find it. Mission4today has guides on certain parts of the config file, but the guide that I'm thinking of is a comprehensive guide explaining all of the various settings.

Would be grateful if someone could point me in th edirection of this guide ... or was I imagining it?

Hi mungee

Check your email, mate. I've sent it off to you. :wink:

Gents,

I will be posting a New Config.ini guide as I am currently adding to dieg777's guide at this time to include all of the settings for mods and such.

Also, here is the link to the one I already posted.

For those who understand German, this is the best reference I found. Extremely complete and very accurate...

Setting theJoystick axes.
For each axis there are 12 values, the first describes the size of the zero zone (values 0-50), the last of the strength of the filtering (0-100).
The 10 values represent the linearity between the stick movement in 10% of values. (each 0-100) Are all of these values to 100, the 100% stick movement is linear. If the first "10", then reacted IL2 at 10% Stickauslenkung with 10% of 10% Ruderauslenkung.
The line FF = 0 is the force feedback switch. (0 = disabled, 1 = active)

Are there other game controllers, you can find the rows 1X2, 1Y2, 1RX2, 1RZ2 etc., for the Windows ID3 and ongoing. However, these are just about the conf.ini changeable.
